The Minnesota River Area Agency on Aging® (MNRAAA) works with a variety of providers and other professionals in the delivery of services for older adults and their caregivers in southwest Minnesota.

Funding, Grants & Contracts

Title III

The Older Americans Act (OAA) was signed into law on July 14, 1965. The original Act created the Administration on Aging and authorized grants to states for community planning, services, research, and demonstration and training projects in the field of aging. Later amendments provided grants to area agencies on aging for local needs identification, planning and funding of services. The Act was reauthorized and amended in 2000, at which time the National Family Caregiver Support Program was established to support family, friends and neighbors caring for older person as well as for grandparents and other older relatives caring for children.

MNRAAA is a non-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors. MNRAAA has been designated by the Minnesota Board on Aging (MBA) as the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) for the Southwest Planning and Service Area in Minnesota.

MNRAAA is seeking providers to develop and/or expand services for older adults (age 60+) and their caregivers in southwest Minnesota for the period of January 1, 2018 – December 31, 2018.
